MiniMax: Minimize your waste and maximize your recycling

In 2008, the University successfully piloted MiniMax, a new desk-side, self-service waste and recycling collection program, at UW Tower. The unlined mini waste bin is self service, just like your personal recycling bin. The self-service aspect builds awareness around recycling, promotes personal responsibility for waste generation, and allows custodians to redirect their collection efforts to more essential tasks. Recycling & Solid Waste is excited to expand MiniMax to more locations on campus. To find out more, click here.
The University has been composting food waste since 2004. You can join in on the program by composting food scraps from your break rooms and kitchens. Click here for more information about composting on campus.
